Warriors’ Adventures After the Doomed End by the Most Powerful Villainous Aristocrat 〜I Failed to Avoid the Doomed End, but I Was Saved by the Main Heroine, a Saint Who Turned Into a Yandere Just Before the Execution. Now I’m Going to Get Serious and Become a Warrior~
“Well, let’s take this question: …… Vane! Answer it.”
I’m in class and the teacher points at me.
This is the fifth time I’ve been pointed at in this class.
Apparently, this teacher is the third son of a count family and looks down on commoners.
Therefore, he often points at commoners and harasses them.
So, I, the aristocrat-turned-commoner, am the target.
I check the problem again.
The question is: “Why are there two theories about the year this country, the Kingdom of Valnia, was born, one in 120 continental years and the other in 122 continental years?”
Quite an applied question. One would have to be an expert in the field to answer it.
But – I had knowledge of the original work.
As I recall, in the setting book of “The Dragon Sword of Dawn,” it says
“The place where the Kingdom of Vernia now stands was originally a barren land. However, in the 120th year of the continent’s history, it was transformed into a fertile land by the miraculous power of the first saint. People who believed in the first saint who caused such a miracle gathered and …… it naturally became the Kingdom of Vernia. Therefore, it is a common belief that the 120th year of continental history is the year when the Kingdom of Valnia was born. -But in fact, the power of the first saint made the land fertile, but it was not a very good place to live because of the number of vicious monsters. It is believed that people were able to live properly because the power of monsters was weakened by the “Star Priestess” who appeared in the year 122 of the continental history. Therefore, there is a theory that the year 122 is the year of the birth of the Kingdom of Valnia.”
“What …..!? T-this issue…….
kohon, Sit down.”
This is the fifth time I got it right.
I’m an old school gamer who has played “The Dragon Sword of Dawn” to the bone.
I don’t care how difficult it is for others, or how it is applied.
—Kin kon
“T-that’s the end of today’s lesson!”
The teacher said just that and walked out of the classroom as if to run away.
It seems that he was really annoyed by the fact that I got all the answers right.
“Phew. …….”
I slammed the notebook I had written on the blackboard shut.
That teacher harassed me a bit, but the people who made fun of me like …… Illya didn’t show up again until after third period was over.
Chloe must have had a big influence on me, and I should be thankful for that. ……
Okay, now it’s time for lunch break.
I got up from my seat and headed for the cafeteria.
Before, as soon as classes were over, lower class nobles and commoners would approach me and be troublesome,……. But now, no one talks to me as if it were a lie.
–Except for one person.
“—Vane san! Would you like to have lunch with me?”
“Chloe_……”
Chloe approaches me with a smirk.
“Is it okay? You usually eat with friends, right?”
“It’s fine! I’ve already told my …… friends that I’ll be eating lunch with Vane san from now on!”
“Then let’s go to the cafeteria together.”
“……? No, that’s not necessary. …… look!”
Chloe shows me the two boxes she had in the back of her bag.
These are …… lunch boxes!
“Actually, I made one for Vane-san too!”
Chloe said, handing me one of the lunch boxes.
I woke up this morning and wondered why I hadn’t seen you…… Was she making me a lunch box?!
“A-are you sure ……?! This must have been a lot of work ……”
“It’s fine! … Actually, I made it for you to eat Vane san!”
“T-thank you ……!”
“No, no!”
Chloe smiled a smile as full of sunshine as the sun and said–
“Come on, let’s go out in the courtyard and eat, shall we?”
“Oh, yeah!”
Chloe pulls me by the hand and we go to the courtyard.
The courtyard was filled with friends and lovers eating together.
We sat down on an empty bench.
“Then we eat. ……!”
“Sure.”
I opened the bento that Chloe had given me, and found it to be filled with egg rolls, fried chicken, grilled fish, and other dishes that are typical of Japanese bentos.
What surprised me the most was that there was white rice in the bento.
In a world where bread is a staple food, white rice ……?!
“How do you like it? I tried to fill it with as many of Vane san’s favorite things as possible. ……”
I swallowed a mouthful of spit.
Chloe was right ……, all of these were my favorite foods.
“C-Chloe ……! How did you prepare this lunch?!”
Aside from white rice of course, fried chicken and egg rolls are not supposed to exist in this world.
I used the power of the marquis’s authority to order plants similar to rice from faraway places, and I gave the chef the recipe and had him make it,…… but on the contrary, these things can’t be eaten in this world without that much.
“Fufu….. actually I stalk …… no, Vane san, I looked you up. As a result, I found out that he likes these things, so I did my best to get the ingredients and make them……!”
“W-Wow, awesome …… Chloe, can I eat it?”
“Of course!”
I grab a piece of fried chicken with my chopsticks and bring it to my mouth.
The crispy texture of the fried chicken is like freshly fried, and the chicken juices overflowing with sizzle,…… ah, delicious,……!
“Delicious…… Chloe, this is so good!”
“Really?! I put a lot of effort into making this, so I’m glad to hear you say so!”
Chloe looks happy.
I then put the rice in my mouth. …… Yeah, this is delicious too! It’s not as good as Japanese rice, but it’s totally delicious!
“Chloe is …… such a good cook!”
“Was it surprising?”
“It’s surprising… I thought it was amazing, considering she has her duties as a saint.”
Huh ……?
However, in the original story, it never said that Chloe was good at cooking…
On the contrary, I think it was set up that she was a bit unfamiliar with cooking. ……?
Am I remembering this wrong?
“……It was worth practicing alone late at night to get Vane-san to eat……!
“…… hmm?
What did you say?”
“No, nothing at all!”
Chloe replies, smiling.
That’s fine then, …….
I’ll try the egg rolls too,…….
Oh ……! I love egg rolls!
It may be an accident, but I’m excited to have so much of my favorite food in it.
“Chloe…… thanks for making such a delicious bento.”
“No no! I’m glad that you were happy. I hope it will help atone for the sins in making that declaration…”
Declarations….?
Oh, that one where I told my classmates that anyone who had a problem with Chloe and me should go ahead and duke it out with me. ……
“No, no, no! Chloe doesn’t have to feel sorry for me. …… That declaration was for my sake too,…… and I thank you for protecting me.”
“No,…… I was only doing what I could,…… but if I had been more proper, I wouldn’t have had to bother Vane san, would I?”
“…Even if Chloe had protected me more perfectly, I still think I would have said that.”
“Eh……?”
Chloe’s eyes widen in astonishment, as if the response was not what she expected.
“As a man… I didn’t want to continue being protected there. I didn’t want people to say whatever they wanted about the person who protected me – Chloe… In other words, I think I would have done what I did no matter what Chloe said. So, there’s no reason for Chloe to be concerned.”
“R-really,……?'”
Chloe says this in a voice that sounds like it’s about to disappear.
Wondering what was wrong, I looked over to see that Chloe’s face was as red as an apple.
Huh ……?
Did I say something really embarrassing…?!
I-I failed…..!
I felt my face getting hot.
And then silence fell over us for a while.
“—V-vane. san. don’t you want to ahnn or something?”
It was such words from Chloe that broke the silence.
